Arminta Jones Obituary

Arminta Pearl Clark Jones, mother of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, has died. She was 90 and had celebrated her birthday last week.

Jerry and Jacque, I just read about Mrs Arminta and I am so sorry. I know how your family loved one another. I didn't realize she was only a yr younger than my Dad, John. My parents always thought so highly of your parents. They were very good people and my family had alot of good times with them. So I am sending my condolences to you all and your family.
In Christ,

Dear Jones family, We are so sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother. She has always been such a special person and delighted all of us at Seminole Baptist with the beautiful flowers sent to the church weekly. She attended some activities at our home and enjoyed the Christmas decorations as she explained all about her Santa Claus room. She was definitely a trooper to the end as she would have her care givers bring her to church even though she had to use her wheel chair to get around. We will truly miss her hugs and beautiful smile, but look forward to joining her in heaven one sweet day. Our prayers are with you all. Ken & Joy Edmonds

Sorry for your loss. Pat and Arminta were very special to all who knew them. We lived by the James River Bridge for 3 years, managing the farm for Liz Martin, and we visited with Pat and Arminta several times and were invited to many parties there. My husband also sold Modern Security for a short period of time years before that. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
